٢ يوحنَّا 1

١ 1 اَلشَّيْخُ، إِلَى كِيرِيَّةَ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةِ، وَإِلَى أَوْلَادِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا أُحِبُّهُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَلَسْتُ أَنَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ عَرَفُوا ٱلْحَقَّ.

The elder to [the] elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only but also all who have known the truth,

٢ 2 مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي يَثْبُتُ فِينَا وَسَيَكُونُ مَعَنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ: (aiōn g165)

for the truth's sake which abides in us and shall be with us to eternity. (aiōn g165)

٣ 3 تَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَمِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱبْنِ ٱلْآبِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةِ.

Grace shall be with you, mercy, peace from God [the] Father, and from [the] Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

٤ 4 فَرِحْتُ جِدًّا لِأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ مِنْ أَوْلَادِكِ بَعْضًا سَالِكِينَ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ، كَمَا أَخَذْنَا وَصِيَّةً مِنَ ٱلْآبِ.

I rejoiced greatly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.

٥ 5 وَٱلْآنَ أَطْلُبُ مِنْكِ يَا كِيرِيَّةُ، لَا كَأَنِّي أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكِ وَصِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً، بَلِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ: أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from [the] beginning, that we should love one another.

٦ 6 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ: أَنْ نَسْلُكَ بِحَسَبِ وَصَايَاهُ. هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ: كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا.

And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, according as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye might walk in it.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ دَخَلَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ مُضِلُّونَ كَثِيرُونَ، لَا يَعْتَرِفُونَ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ آتِيًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمُضِلُّ، وَٱلضِّدُّ لِلْمَسِيحِ.

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh — this is the deceiver and the antichrist.

٨ 8 ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ لِئَلَّا نُضَيِّعَ مَا عَمِلْنَاهُ، بَلْ نَنَالَ أَجْرًا تَامًّا.

See to yourselves, that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive full wages.

٩ 9 كُلُّ مَنْ تَعَدَّى وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي تَعْلِيمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱللهُ. وَمَنْ يَثْبُتْ فِي تَعْلِيمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَهَذَا لَهُ ٱلْآبُ وَٱلِٱبْنُ جَمِيعًا.

Whosoever goes forward and abides not in the doctrine of the Christ has not God. He that abides in the doctrine, he has both the Father and the Son.

١٠ 10 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَأْتِيكُمْ، وَلَا يَجِيءُ بِهَذَا ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ، فَلَا تَقْبَلُوهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَلَا تَقُولُوا لَهُ سَلَامٌ.

If any one come to you and bring not this doctrine, do not receive him into [the] house, and greet him not;

١١ 11 لِأَنَّ مَنْ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ يَشْتَرِكُ فِي أَعْمَالِهِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ.

for he who greets him partakes in his wicked works.

١٢ 12 إِذْ كَانَ لِي كَثِيرٌ لِأَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ، لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِوَرَقٍ وَحِبْرٍ، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَتَكَلَّمَ فَمًا لِفَمٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ فَرَحُنَا كَامِلًا.

Having many things to write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.

١٣ 13 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكِ أَوْلَادُ أُخْتِكِ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةِ. آمِينَ.

The children of thine elect sister greet thee.
